Roman on the table talking to Kendall is the show "we're bullshit".
And with that he ends up back at the bar, just the rich playboy he was at the start of the show. He tried being a "serious person" for a few years, didn't work out, and is where he started. He was always the kid who recognized who he was and what they are the most, and does in that room there.
Shiv probably thought to have any chance of at least a Bill & Hilary thing, this is the way it had to go. Also, besides the huge payout, this keeps her close and sets up her kid as a future CEO possibility. Which makes her then, finally, her own mother.
And for Kendall, unfortunately this was his life. That promise at 7 screwed him forever.
Logan's real successor is not Tom, it's Matsson. Tom is his Greg (and he'll keep his own). But that is okay for him, he knows how to be a Greg, he always has been one, and he got what he wanted. He understands the game. He's around, and he'll take the hits like most modern mediocre white CEO's do. Kids did not. Also, the big hint that it was him was at the funeral when Shiv tells Lukas he wasn't there he's working. Which is linked to what Kendall did in the pilot, where he went to his dad's b-day instead of working like his dad wanted.
The right place to end it as tragic as it is (although I wouldn't hate a Frank & Karl check in every once in a while).
To me I don't know where it ends up, I have Sopranos (agree mostly about Vito, disagree about AJ) and then a top tier with like almost ten below that are a lot of the same and it's definitely there, but I definitely do think this is one of the best acted shows. I think Tony Soprano is the best tv performance, but this show has like 5 of those, plus all the minor characters also, only Mad Men rivals it maybe. And has the best score out of all the best shows I think, the music is so good.
